Trend of North African Dust Storms and Potential Link to Climate Change
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Over recent decades, North African dust storms have undergone marked variability, reflecting complex interactions between regional climate processes and environmental change. Using four decades (1984–2023) of visibility‐based observational records, we examine regional and seasonal trends in dust storm frequency across the Sahel and the Sahara,

Comparison of satellite derived dynamical quantities in the stratosphere of the Southern Hemisphere [PDF]
The proceedings are summarized from a pre-MASH planning workshop on the intercomparison of Southern Hemisphere observations, analyses and derived dynamical quantities held in Williamsburg, Virginia during April 1986.

A Numerical Case Study of the Papagayo Jet Effect on East Pacific Easterly Wave Development
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract This study investigates the development of an east Pacific easterly wave (EW) event in August 2019 and the effect of the Papagayo jet on its evolution. Convective‐permitting numerical simulations were conducted. These included a control experiment and a Gap‐Filled experiment with a closed mountain gap near the Gulf of Papagayo, to test the ...

The Impact of Horizontal Resolution on Surface Irradiance Over Land in km‐Scale Earth System Models
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Storm‐resolving global climate models, approaching km‐scale grid spacings, are slowly emerging. With increasing horizontal resolution, we expect improvements in the surface radiation budget because (a) synoptic variability may be better represented, (b) convective systems are better resolved, and (c) landscape heterogeneity is represented in ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Low‐level jets (LLJs), as dynamically significant narrow air currents in the lower troposphere, profoundly influence regional weather and anthropogenic activities. Motivated by persistent LLJs detected through Doppler LiDAR observations during March to April 2021, this study systematically characterizes these LLJs over Juehua Island (western ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract In this study, we use the Specified Dynamics Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model with thermosphere‐ionosphere eXtension (SD‐WACCM‐X) to investigate how the migrating solar semidiurnal tide (SW2) in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) responds to the strength of Arctic and Antarctic Stratospheric Polar Vortices (SPVs).

Geoid undulations and gravity anomalies over the Aral Sea, the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea from a combined GEOS-3/SEASAT/GEOSAT altimeter data set [PDF]
Satellite-based altimetric data taken by GOES-3, SEASAT, and GEOSAT over the Aral Sea, the Black Sea, and the Caspian Sea are analyzed and a least squares collocation technique is used to predict the geoid undulations on a 0.25x0.25 deg.

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 2, February 2026.Statistical and dynamical downscaling methods are tested for their reproduction of compound dry‐hot events, using three representatives of each category. Statistical methods are found to better detect when they are produced, whereas dynamical downscaling better simulates their distribution over the whole period.

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 2, February 2026.Difference of monthly mean TC‐related precipitation (mm) during JAS over the EA between the SSP245 run and the CTL run in (a) TC core precipitation (TCP) + TC remote precipitation (TRP), (b) TCP and (c) TRP. ABSTRACT Climate change has fundamentally altered tropical cyclone (TC) characteristics globally, with TC‐related precipitation emerging as a ...
